I really liked the first instalment in this series so I did a small joy dance when I was approved for this book.
The book is very entertaining and a page turner.
It's well written, we meet again the funny and lovely cast of human and animal characters. The plot is interesting and I like the development in Sam's life and her process to get on with her life and out of grief.
The parallel historical mystery was also very good and entertaining.but it seemed to me that sometimes it was interrupting the main story flow.
On the negative side the discovery of the culprit seemed a bit rushed and out of the blue.
A very good cozy with some weak sides.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley
